NAME

asp — core bus controller as present on older HP 9000/700 machines

SYNOPSIS

asp0 at mainbus? irq 28
gsc* at asp?

DESCRIPTION

The supported Core bus controllers are those present on older PA-RISC workstations, and include:

• Core bus controller
• System Clock
• Interrupt Controller
• DMA Controller
• Real Time Clock Interface
• RAM and EEPROM controllers

The irq level supplied is hardwired to the CPU pin, so changing the value would not produce any noticeable results (except lost interrupts for the whole I/O subsystem).

MACHINES

• 705, 710

• 725/{50,75}
• 720, 730, 750
